Both McCarthy and Nunes are from the southern half of the state of California.O Really wrote: ↑Sat Aug 14, 2021 3:26 pmYeah, it seems Ulysses was offended that a former fellow Californian was a certified nutjob, and feared that her nutjobbery would reflect poorly on the state as a whole and in particular the Bay Area, where she did not ever live. That seems to be pretty much the definition of taking an unrelated event unnecessarily personal. And it's not like California doesn't have its share of nutjobs - and some of them get elected. One has to look no further than Kevin McCarthy or Devin Nunes to suspect that "refugee" Leigh-Allyn Baker might not be the only nutjob living or who has lived there. But to my great pleasure, and probably Ulysses', the good part about California is that while there are many nutjobs, they don't usually get to run the place. That's really the downfall of places like Florida and NC - the nutjobs aren't the majority of the population but they still get elected to run the place.Vrede too wrote: ↑Sat Aug 14, 2021 12:38 pmThere's no one here that thinks that California is "one homogenous entity". We discuss its variety often. So, the entire tangent is pointless other than being a straw man diversion from COVIDiot Leigh-Allyn Baker being a Californian. It's ironic that you are so defensive over that undeniable fact, given California's diversity you know.
I rest my case (whilst ignoring the inconvenient truth that Solar is currently residing in the northern, albeit eastern, half of the state).
